Error com.horcrux.svg does not exist on Windows/Android

[mihaben]

Hi,

I'm trying to install the react-native-svg package but I have not been able to do it yet.

I followed the instructions in the Readme (npm install and link code), but I have the following error when I execute react-native run-android

C:\rnative-projects\memoshape\android\app\src\main\java\com\memoshape\MainApplication.java:7: error: package com.horcrux.svg does not exist
import com.horcrux.svg.RNSvgPackage;
                      ^

I´m developing with Windows 10.

and...

"dependencies": {
    "react": "15.4.1",
    "react-native": "0.39.2",
    "react-native-svg": "^4.4.1"
  }

Thank you for your help!

Edit:

Same problem with

"dependencies": {
    "react": "15.4.0",
    "react-native": "0.38",
    "react-native-svg": "4.4.0"
  }

I found the problem, the installer was not adding the depedence in build.gradle, to fix the problem I added the compile code inside dependences{}, I also excluded the appcompat-v7 to avoid conflicts:

dependencies {
    compile(project(':react-native-svg')) {
        exclude group: "com.android.support", module: "appcompat-v7"
    }
    compile fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
    compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1"
    compile "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"  // From node_modules
}

I am getting this same issue on mac OS after upgrading from RN 0.39.2 -> 0.40.0. I have cleared out the cache with gradle as suggested in other issue trackers but no luck.

@joncursi try:

import com.horcrux.svg.SvgPackage;

and

 return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new MainReactPackage(),
            new SvgPackage()
            new ReactNativeConfigPackage()
      );```

looks like they changed the name.

[magicismight]

The package name in android has been changed in 4.6.0, sorry about that

[joncursi]

thanks @seacloud9 !

[jorge8989]

@mihaben 's solution worked for me,
I'm using Windows 10 on my current project,
my dependencies are
{ "react": "~15.4.0-rc.4", "react-native": "0.40.0", "react-native-svg": "^4.4.1", }
I had to run cd android && ./gradlew clean after the changes
I also changed the Package name like @seacloud9 suggested,
So, thanks guys.

[WeIio]

change package name works for me , thx @seacloud9 !

[wkrause13]

I believe the name may have changed again.

To make this compile I needed to import
import com.horcrux.svg.RNSvgPackage;
instead of
import com.horcrux.svg.SvgPackage;

And then make the corresponding change in the package list

      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new MainReactPackage(),
          new RNSvgPackage(),
...

[anwari32]

Hello, I also found the same error like this.

MainApplication.java:27: error: cannot find symbol
new RNSvgPackage()
^
symbol: class RNSvgPackage
2 errors
:app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac FAILED

So I renamed several lines at the code. At first it looked like

import com.horcrux.svg.RNSvgPackage;

@Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new MainReactPackage(),
            new RNSvgPackage()
      );
    }

and I changed them into

import com.horcrux.svg.SvgPackage;

@Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new MainReactPackage(),
            new SvgPackage()
      );
    }

After that I could run react-native run-android again. I just installed the svg today so I assumed I have the latest version.

[xTMNTxRaphaelx]

This error is still coming to me. I have tried a lot. Someone help me please Why?

package com.horcrux.svg does not exist.

[hlerenow]

@xTMNTxRaphaelx Just do this:
added the compile code inside dependences{}, I also excluded the appcompat-v7 to avoid conflicts:

dependencies {
compile(project(':react-native-svg')) {
exclude group: "com.android.support", module: "appcompat-v7"
}
compile fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1"
compile "com.facebook.react:react-native:+" // From node_modules
}
like @mihaben

[sujitpk-perennial]

@xTMNTxRaphaelx Have you found solution for this ?

[linuxgg]

please follow this:

https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-svg

[Funny-dot]

@joncursi尝试：

import com.horcrux.svg.SvgPackage;

和

 return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new MainReactPackage(),
            new SvgPackage()
            new ReactNativeConfigPackage()
      );```

looks like they changed the name.

but ，I still have the same problem.
"react": "~15.4.0-rc.4",
"react-dom": "^16.1.1",
"react-native": "0.40.0",
"react-native-svg": "^4.4.1",
"react-native-svg-uri": "^1.2.3",

[Shehzad121]

check duplication of package import also face same error but on debug got import com.horcrux.svg.SvgPackage; twise

[CurtisTD]

If you're using expo, try expo install react-native-svg
